First let me start of with saying that I was very happy with last months' box (although I read some reviews and a lot of people were disappointed). The design of the box was Paranakan inspired and I quite liked it. Inside were quite a number of items and it had a full sized product which was hand cream that smelled lovely. I felt it had a better mix compared with some of their other boxes. I wanted to do a review on it, but before I knew it, this box arrived!
I can't say that I was impressed with this months' box. Thinking about it; it looks like I paid $20 for a box of freebies! I understand that it is difficult for the people at Bellabox to please everyone, but I feel that if the box had more variety than more people would be happy with it. Firstly, the theme was "Pink Me Up" and based on their write-up, they were going for "perk me up", but added a twist (maybe so that it would sound more towards beauty and that they could make the box pink?). This just ended up confusing the majority who were probably expecting more "pink" products. You think pink and you do think of more make-up products compared to wellness and skin care products. Personally, I think that other subscription boxes like Glossybox and Ipsy bag are more make-up orientated and Bellabox is more for skin care. I received a face mask, eye mask, facial peel and scrub!!!!! Along with this was an anti-ageing lotion, face mist, BB cream and a collagen drink. A theme more towards a "Fresh Face" would have been more appropriate.
Based on their pink theme, I think the September box would have been better if there was a variety of skin care and make-up, hair care products with that added "pink" factor. The scrub and mask are fine (maybe it will give you a glow ha ha), the lip scrub was a good idea, but not everyone received it. I think some received a lip gloss instead, but I didn't get either. No nice pink lips for me I guess, but some quick suggestions from me to add to the scrub and mask are a pink nail polish, a rose water cream - perhaps the smell might make you think of pink roses :) and also maybe those hair ties in three different shades of pink. For the bonus item, a small pink heart shaped bar of soap. What do you think?
I do hope the next box has something for everyone! :o)
